This film brings genius author James Baldwin to life. His words and message are tremendously relevant today and help us understand how much work we have to do to understand race in the United States. Baldwin says "I am not a ( n word that IMDb won't let me write and for good reason), and for white people to need there to be such a thing is something white people need to figure out." As a white artist and social activist focused on undoing racism and studying and teaching the tremendous artistic legacy of African Americans, I could not agree more. I so appreciate the film makers artistry in bringing Baldwin to life right here right now. Baldwin's intellectual rigor combined with his fearless expression is a treasure to behold. Thank-you!
